		<title>The Hurt Locker</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to reserve (ahead of time) my right to be the first to apply the title of the recent Oscar winning film to Washington quarterback Jake Locker, in the event that he should ever get hurt again.
Thank you.

		<title>Off Topic: Contrarian Pundit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On a note totally unrelated to the Heisman and college football, I&#8217;d like to welcome a new addition to my nascent blog network, Pundit Net.
For those of you prefer to look at government, culture and politics from a progressive point of view, be sure to check out Contrarian Pundit.  It is headed by David Johnson, who also [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ducking Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to the Heisman race, it&#8217;s hard for a player to do much to help his cause in the spring.
But, there are plenty of things a player can do to hurt his cause.
To illustrate, it looks like a pair of Oregon Ducks might have suffered mortal blows to their Heisman hopes.  Even if they end [...]]]></description>

		<title>On the combine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s February, which means that the &#8216;unwatchable&#8217; period of football has begun.  It starts with the NFL combine and then we get to the NFL draft&#8211;two of the most sleep-inducing events in sports&#8211;before the onslaught of (mostly meaningless) spring ball sessions arrive.  Then there&#8217;s the summer camp period and events like the Elite 11 camp, which are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Signing Day Thought</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll have my breakdown of the top Heisman contenders from this class a little later but, in the meantime, I just want to make one point regarding recruiting rankings.
It&#8217;s in vogue to belittle recruiting rankings as worthless, since there are so many examples of non-rated or underrated players making it to the bigtime.  There are plenty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Signing Day Approaches&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;so I&#8217;ll soon have my full breakdown of the recruits who are most likely to become factors in future Heisman races.
Not many blockbusters in this class from what I can see, but lots of good players with a chance to win a Heisman if things work out right.

		<title>Ranking the Heisman Powers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you want to win a Heisman Trophy, you have a distinct advantage if you go to one of these schools.  I take into account media presence, Heisman tradition, recent Heisman success and overall program mystique when putting together this ranking.   
1. USC&#8211;Three Heismans this decade and seven trophies overall, plus a glitzy program set in Tinseltown [...]]]></description>
